During late April 1905 the 3 masted barque 'Windsor Castle' was wrecked off Coëtivy Island, the most easterly of the Seychelles islands, whilst on a voyage from Simonstown (Western Cape, South Africa) to the port of Mahé, the largest and main island of the Seychelles. She was in ballast at the time. I can find no record of the survivors.
